MATERIALS
- A soft mat or open field
- Traditional belted jackets (or sturdy belts)
HOW TO PLAY
1
Two wrestlers stand chest to chest and each grips the other's belt or jacket with both hands before the referee starts the match.
2
Using only holds above the waist, each wrestler tries to lift, twist, or unbalance the other into a fall.
3
Touching the ground with any part of the body above the knee, other than the feet, ends the round in the opponent's favor.
4
Wrestlers may not release both grips at once or strike their opponent; doing so draws a warning from the referee.
5
Matches are won by the first clean fall, or by referee decision if neither wrestler falls within the time limit.
